【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、熱間継目無鋼管を製造する際の中空素管内面に供給する還元性粉体の量あるいはマンドレルバーの外面に付着させる還元性粉体の量の決定方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般的に、熱間継目無鋼管(以下、継目無鋼管ともいう)の製造では、1100〜1250℃程度に加熱したビレットを穿孔機に通してその中心部を穿孔することにより中空素管とし、この中空素管を延伸圧延機に通して、その肉厚を圧下する延伸圧延を施し、次いで、絞り圧延機を通して主として外径を縮小して所定サイズの製品としている。
【0003】
延伸圧延には、寸法精度と生産性に優れたマンドレルミル圧延やプラグミル圧延による方法が多用されている。
【0004】
マンドレルミル圧延では、マンドレルバーを穿孔圧延後の高温状態の中空素管の内面に挿入した後、対向孔型ロールで構成された複数個のスタンドをタンデムに配置したマンドレルミルに通し、マンドレルバーと孔型ロールとで中空素管の肉厚を圧下し、所定寸法の管に圧延する。圧延後、挿入されたマンドレルバーは管から引き抜かれる。このマンドレルバーには、通常、表面に黒鉛などの潤滑剤を塗布したマンドレルバーが用いられ、その塗布量は経験的に決定されている。
【0005】
一方、プラグミル圧延では、一対の孔型ロールとその孔型ロール間に設けたプラグとで構成されたプラグミルに中空素管を通し、その肉厚を圧下し、所定寸法の管に圧延する。この中空素管には、予め、その内面に潤滑剤が塗布されており、その塗布量は経験的に決定されている。
【0006】
通常、マンドレルミルやプラグミルの圧延における管の温度は、ミルの入側で950〜1150℃、ミルの出側で800〜1000℃となり、マンドレルミルやプラグミルで圧延された管は、一般に、仕上圧延用素管と呼ばれる。
【0007】
この仕上圧延用素管は、通常、再加熱炉によって850℃〜1100℃の温度に再加熱された後、サイザやストレッチレデューサー等の絞り圧延機により主として管外径を縮小して所定サイズの継目無鋼管に圧延される。その後、900℃以上に再加熱され焼き入れ、次いで、700℃近傍で焼き戻し処理が施される。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように継目無鋼管(以下、鋼管ともいう)の製造は、高温状態で圧延などの処理が行われるので、製品の内面に酸化スケール(以下、スケールともいう)が形成される。
【0009】
延伸圧延では、中空素管の内面に塗布された潤滑剤あるいはマンドレルバーの表面に塗布された潤滑剤の作用でスケールの発生が抑制されるが、圧延条件によってはスケールの発生が著しくなる場合がある。
【0010】
一般に、炭素鋼などの鋼管では、製品としてスケール除去が要求されないが、厚いスケールが生じるとスケールロスが大きくなり、歩留まりが悪化するという問題がある。
【0011】
また、鋼中のCr濃度が9%以上の鋼管では、耐食性を確保する目的で、ショットブラストあるいは硝沸酸等による管内面の脱スケールが必要となり、製造コストが嵩むといった問題がある。
【0012】
そこで、スケールロスの低減ならびに脱スケール能率の向上の観点から、管内面に生成するスケールの抑制が求められている。
【0013】
本発明の課題は、スケールロスの低減や脱スケール能率の向上を可能とする鋼管の延伸圧延における還元性粉体量の決定方法を提供することにある。
【0014】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは上記課題を達成すべく鋭意研究した結果、以下の知見を得た。
(a)ピアサで穿孔圧延された中空素管の内面に生成したスケールは、マンドレルミルやプラグミルなどの延伸圧延機による延伸圧延の際に、マンドレルバーあるいはプラグとの接触により摩滅しほぼ消滅する。
(b)マンドレルミルやプラグミルによる延伸圧延後、延伸圧延された仕上用素管の内面にはスケールが生成するが、中空素管の内面に還元性粉体を供給して延伸圧延を施すことにより、スケールの生成が抑制される。但し、延伸圧延時の延伸比に拘わらず中空素管内面に供給する還元性粉体の量(以下、供給量ともいう)を一定にして圧延すると、延伸比の高い条件でスケールの生成の抑制が不十分となる。従って、供給量は延伸圧延の延伸比に基づいて決定することが重要である。
(c)図1は、中空素管の内面に還元性粉体を供給して延伸圧延した管の内面を脱スケール処理した際の脱スケール能率に及ぼす延伸圧延時の延伸比と還元性粉体の供給量の関係の一例を示すグラフである。図中の○印は脱スケール能率が一定値以上、×印は一定値未満、線はその境界を示す。
【0015】
同図に示すように、境界を示す線は、延伸比の関数となっており、延伸比に基づいて還元性粉体の供給量を決定することにより、延伸比に拘わらず高い脱スケール能率を確保することができる。
(d)マンドレルミル圧延の場合には、マンドレルバーの表面に還元性粉体を付着させて延伸圧延を施すことにより、スケールの生成が抑制される。但し、延伸圧延時の延伸比に拘わらずマンドレルバー表面に付着させる還元性粉体の量(以下、付着量ともいう)を一定にして圧延すると、延伸比の高い条件でスケールの生成の抑制が不十分となる。従って、付着量は延伸圧延の延伸比に基づいて決定することが重要である。
(e)図2は、マンドレルバーの表面に還元性粉体を付着させて延伸圧延した管の内面を脱スケール処理した際の脱スケール能率に及ぼす延伸圧延時の延伸比と還元性粉体の付着量の関係の一例を示すグラフである。図中の○印は脱スケール能率が一定値以上、×印は一定値未満、線はその境界を示す。
【0016】
同図に示すように、境界を示す線は、延伸比の関数となっており、延伸比に基づいて還元性粉体の付着量を決定することにより、延伸比に拘わらず高い脱スケール能率を確保することができる。
(f)中空素管の内面に還元性粉体を供給して延伸圧延する場合でも、また、マンドレルバーの表面に還元性粉体を付着させて延伸圧延する場合においても、延伸比を1.3以上にすると、スケールの生成の抑制がより効果的である。
(g)上記(f)の理由は、不明であるが、延伸比が1.3以上となると、延伸圧延時に、還元性粉体の表面に形成された酸化被膜の破壊が進み、粉体の還元性が強まるものと推察される。
【0017】
なお、延伸比は、中空素管の長さをA、仕上圧延用素管の長さをBとしたとき、B/Aで表される。
【0018】
本発明は、上記知見に基づいて完成されたもので、その要旨は以下の通りである。
【0020】
(1)穿孔圧延後の中空素管に延伸圧延を施す際に、該中空素管の内面に供給する還元性粉体の量を、前記延伸圧延の延伸比に基づいて決定する、鋼管の延伸圧延における粉体量の決定方法において、下記(1)式を満足するように、前記還元性粉体の量を決定することを特徴とする鋼管の延伸圧延における粉体量の決定方法。
Va≧5×EL+10 (1)
但し、Va:中空素管内面の単位面積当たりの還元性粉体の量(単位:g/m2)、EL:延伸比(単位:無次元)。
【0022】
(2)穿孔圧延後の中空素管に延伸圧延を施す際に、該中空素管に挿入するマンドレルバーに付着させる還元性粉体の量を、前記延伸圧延の延伸比に基づいて決定する、鋼管の延伸圧延における粉体量の決定方法において、下記(2)式を満足するように、前記還元性粉体の量を決定することを特徴とする鋼管の延伸圧延における粉体量の決定方法。
Vb≧5×EL+20 (2)
但し、Vb:マンドレルバー表面の単位面積当たりの還元性粉体の量(単位:g/m 2 )、EL:延伸比(単位:無次元)。
【0024】
(3) 前記延伸比が1.3以上であることを特徴とする上記(1)項1または(2)に記載の鋼管の延伸圧延における粉体量の決定方法。
【0025】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係る鋼管の延伸圧延における粉体量の決定方法の実施の形態を、添付図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。なお、以下の実施の形態の説明では、延伸圧延がマンドレルミル圧延である場合を例にとる。
【0026】
図3は、本発明の実施形態を説明するマンドレルミルによる延伸圧延の状況を示す模式図である。同図で、符号1はマンドレルバー、2は中空素管、3は孔型ロール、4はスタンド、5は仕上圧延用素管、を示す
図4は、中空素管の内面に還元性粉体を投入している状況を示す模式図である。同図で、11は粉体供給手段、12は還元性粉体であり、図1と同じ要素は同一の符号で示す。
【0027】
図3において、このマンドレルミルは、対向する孔型ロール3、3を備えたスタンド4を交互に90°傾けてタンデムに配置した複数台のスタンドから構成され、その上流側に還元性の粉体を中空素管内面に供給する粉体供給手段(図4参照)を備える。
【0028】
本発明に係る延伸圧延では、先ず、ピアサで穿孔圧延された熱間状態の中空素管を粉体供給手段に搬送し、図4に示すように、中空素管2の内面に粉体供給手段11から還元性粉体12を空気や不活性ガスを媒体として投入する。次いで、その中空素管の内面にマンドレルバーを挿入し、図3に示すように、マンドレルバー1を挿入したまま、孔型ロール3で中空素管2を圧延し、仕上圧延用素管5を得る。
【0029】
その際、中空素管の内面に供給される還元性粉体の量を延伸圧延における延伸比に基づいて決定する。中空素管内面に投入された還元性粉体の一部は中空素管の内面に付着し、一部は中空素管の内部に浮遊した状態で延伸圧延が施される。これにより、延伸圧延を施された仕上圧延用素管の内面の酸化が抑制され、内面に形成されるスケールを抑制することができる。
【0030】
内面への還元性粉体の供給量が少ないと、スケールの抑制効果が不十分となる。例えば、供給量を一定として、延伸比を変化させて圧延を行うと、延伸比の高い条件においてスケールの抑制が不十分となる。したがって、供給量は延伸比に基づいて決定することが重要である。例えば、中空素管の内面単位面積当たりの供給量をVa(g/m2 )、延伸比をEL(−)とすると、下記(1)式を満足するように供給量を決定するとよい。
【0031】
Va≧5×EL+10 (1)
なお、通常、粉体の供給は、図4に示すように、中空素管の両端を解放した状態で、中空素管の一端から他端に向けて粉体を投入する方法で行う。内面に投入された粉体の一部は、他端から中空素管の外部に飛散する。供給量は、管の内部に残存する量であり、投入量から飛散する量を減算した値として求めることができる。
【0032】
供給量の上限は特に限定しないが、供給量が200g/m2を超えると、その効果は飽和し、経済的に不利であるので、200g/m2以下とするのが望ましい。
【0033】
以上、本発明の実施態様を、マンドレルミルによる延伸圧延を例に説明したが、プラグミルによる延伸圧延にも同様に適用できる。
【0034】
本発明の別の方法に係るマンドレルミルによる延伸圧延では、ピアサで穿孔圧延された中空素管の内面に、表面に還元性粉体を付着させたマンドレルバーを挿入し、マンドレルバーを挿入したまま、孔型ロールで中空素管を圧延し、仕上圧延用素管を得る。
【0035】
その際、マンドレルバーの表面に付着させる還元性粉体の量を延伸比に基づいて決定する。マンドレルバーの表面に付着した還元性粉体は、延伸圧延時に中空素管の内面に付着する。これにより、延伸圧延を施された仕上圧延用素管の内面の酸化が抑制され、内面に形成されるスケールを抑制することができる。
【0036】
マンドレルバーへの還元性粉体の付着量が少ないと、スケールの抑制効果が不十分となる。例えば、付着量を一定として、延伸比を変化させて圧延を行うと、延伸比の高い条件においてスケールの抑制が不十分となる。したがって、付着量は延伸比に基づいて決定することが重要である。例えば、マンドレルバー表面の単位面積当たりの粉体の付着量をVb(g/m2)、延伸比をEL(−)とすると、下記(2)式を満足するように付着量を決定するとよい。
【0037】
Vb≧5×EL+20 (2)
付着量の上限は特に限定しないが、付着量が300g/m2を超えると、その効果は飽和し、経済的に不利であるので、300g/m2以下とするのが望ましい。
【0038】
なお、マンドレルバーへの還元性粉体の付着は、マンドレルバーの表面に還元性の粉体を含んだ水溶液を塗布した後、マンドレルバーを乾燥させることにより可能である。なお、上記水溶液には、有機バインダを含有させてもよい。
【0039】
中空素管の内面に還元性粉体を供給し延伸圧延を施す場合においても、また、マンドレルバーの表面に還元性粉体を付着させて延伸圧延を施す場合においても、延伸比が1.3未満の条件では、スケールの抑制効果が不十分となることがある。したがって、延伸比は1.3以上とするのが望ましい。更に好ましくは、延伸比は2.5以上である。
【0040】
本実施形態では、還元性粉体として、Li、Si、Ti、V、Mn、Na、Zn、K、P、C、NaCl、CaCO3 、LiCl、MnSO4 、K2CO3 、雲母の中の1種または2種以上を混合した粉末を用いた。好ましくは、CやNaClである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for determining the amount of reducing powder supplied to the inner surface of a hollow shell when manufacturing a hot seamless steel tube or the amount of reducing powder attached to the outer surface of a mandrel bar.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in the production of a hot seamless steel pipe (hereinafter also referred to as a seamless steel pipe), a billet heated to about 1100 to 1250 ° C. is passed through a perforator to perforate the center portion to obtain a hollow shell. The hollow shell is passed through a drawing mill and subjected to drawing rolling to reduce its thickness, and then the outer diameter is mainly reduced through a drawing mill to obtain a product of a predetermined size.
[0003]
For the stretching and rolling, methods using mandrel mill rolling and plug mill rolling, which are excellent in dimensional accuracy and productivity, are frequently used.
[0004]
In mandrel mill rolling, a mandrel bar is inserted into the inner surface of a hollow shell in a high temperature state after piercing and rolling, and then a plurality of stands composed of opposed hole rolls are passed through a mandrel mill arranged in tandem, The thickness of the hollow shell is reduced with a perforated roll and rolled into a tube of a predetermined size. After rolling, the inserted mandrel bar is withdrawn from the tube. As this mandrel bar, a mandrel bar having a surface coated with a lubricant such as graphite is usually used, and the coating amount is determined empirically.
[0005]
On the other hand, in plug mill rolling, a hollow shell is passed through a plug mill constituted by a pair of hole-type rolls and a plug provided between the hole-type rolls, the thickness is reduced, and the pipe is rolled to a predetermined dimension. A lubricant is applied to the inner surface of the hollow shell in advance, and the coating amount is determined empirically.
[0006]
Normally, the tube temperature in rolling of a mandrel mill or plug mill is 950 to 1150 ° C. on the inlet side of the mill and 800 to 1000 ° C. on the outlet side of the mill, and the tube rolled by the mandrel mill or plug mill is generally finish-rolled. It is called an element tube.
[0007]
This finish rolling blank is usually reheated to a temperature of 850 ° C. to 1100 ° C. by a reheating furnace, and then the outer diameter of the pipe is mainly reduced by a drawing mill such as a sizer or a stretch reducer to produce a seam of a predetermined size. Rolled to steel-free pipe. Then, it is reheated to 900 ° C. or higher and quenched, and then tempered at around 700 ° C.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, in the manufacture of a seamless steel pipe (hereinafter also referred to as a steel pipe), a process such as rolling is performed at a high temperature, so that an oxide scale (hereinafter also referred to as a scale) is formed on the inner surface of the product.
[0009]
In stretching and rolling, the generation of scale is suppressed by the action of the lubricant applied to the inner surface of the hollow shell or the lubricant applied to the surface of the mandrel bar, but the generation of scale may be significant depending on the rolling conditions. is there.
[0010]
Generally, in steel pipes such as carbon steel, scale removal is not required as a product. However, when a thick scale is generated, there is a problem that scale loss increases and yield deteriorates.
[0011]
In addition, a steel pipe having a Cr concentration of 9% or more in steel has a problem in that the inner surface of the pipe needs to be descaled by shot blasting or nitric acid for the purpose of ensuring corrosion resistance, and the manufacturing cost increases.
[0012]
Therefore, from the viewpoint of reducing the scale loss and improving the descaling efficiency, it is required to suppress the scale generated on the inner surface of the pipe.
[0013]
The subject of this invention is providing the determination method of the amount of reducing powder in the extending | stretching rolling of the steel pipe which makes it possible to reduce a scale loss and to improve a descaling efficiency.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have obtained the following knowledge.
(A) The scale generated on the inner surface of the hollow shell pierced and rolled by the piercer is worn away by contact with the mandrel bar or the plug and almost disappears during the drawing and rolling by a drawing mill such as a mandrel mill and a plug mill.
(B) After drawing and rolling by a mandrel mill or a plug mill, scales are formed on the inner surface of the finished raw tube, but by supplying reducing powder to the inner surface of the hollow raw tube and drawing and rolling. , Scale generation is suppressed. However, if the rolling is performed with a constant amount of reducing powder supplied to the inner surface of the hollow shell (hereinafter also referred to as the supply amount) regardless of the drawing ratio during drawing and rolling, the generation of scale is suppressed under conditions with a high drawing ratio. Is insufficient. Therefore, it is important to determine the supply amount based on the drawing ratio of drawing and rolling.
(C) FIG. 1 shows the drawing ratio and reducing powder at the time of drawing and rolling, which affect the descaling efficiency when the inner surface of the pipe that has been drawn and rolled by supplying reducing powder to the inner surface of the hollow shell is descaled. It is a graph which shows an example of the relationship of the supply amount of. In the figure, ◯ indicates that the descaling efficiency is a certain value or more, X indicates less than a certain value, and a line indicates the boundary.
[0015]
As shown in the figure, the line indicating the boundary is a function of the draw ratio, and by determining the supply amount of the reducing powder based on the draw ratio, a high descaling efficiency can be achieved regardless of the draw ratio. Can be secured.
(D) In the case of mandrel mill rolling, the production of scale is suppressed by stretching and rolling by attaching reducing powder to the surface of the mandrel bar. However, if the amount of reducing powder adhered to the mandrel bar surface (hereinafter also referred to as adhesion amount) is kept constant regardless of the drawing ratio during drawing and rolling, the generation of scale can be suppressed under conditions with a high drawing ratio. It becomes insufficient. Therefore, it is important to determine the amount of adhesion based on the draw ratio of drawing and rolling.
(E) FIG. 2 shows the effect of the drawing ratio and the drawing ratio of the reducing powder on the descaling efficiency when the inner surface of the pipe which has been drawn and rolled by attaching the reducing powder to the surface of the mandrel bar is descaled. It is a graph which shows an example of the relationship of adhesion amount. In the figure, ◯ indicates that the descaling efficiency is a certain value or more, X indicates less than a certain value, and a line indicates the boundary.
[0016]
As shown in the figure, the line indicating the boundary is a function of the stretch ratio. By determining the amount of the reducing powder attached based on the stretch ratio, a high descaling efficiency can be achieved regardless of the stretch ratio. Can be secured.
(F) Even when the reducing powder is supplied to the inner surface of the hollow shell and stretch-rolled, or when the reducing powder is attached to the surface of the mandrel bar and stretch-rolled, the stretching ratio is 1. If it is 3 or more, the suppression of scale generation is more effective.
(G) The reason for the above (f) is unclear, but when the draw ratio is 1.3 or more, the oxide film formed on the surface of the reducing powder breaks down during the drawing and rolling, It is presumed that the reducibility will increase.
[0017]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a method for determining the amount of powder in drawing and rolling a steel pipe according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the embodiment, a case where the stretching rolling is mandrel mill rolling is taken as an example.
[0026]
Drawing 3 is a mimetic diagram showing the situation of extension rolling by a mandrel mill explaining an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure,
[0027]
In FIG. 3, this mandrel mill is composed of a plurality of stands arranged in tandem by alternately tilting a
[0028]
In the drawing and rolling according to the present invention, first, a hot hollow hollow tube that has been pierced and rolled by a piercer is conveyed to a powder supply unit, and as shown in FIG. From 11, reducing
[0029]
At that time, the amount of reducing powder supplied to the inner surface of the hollow shell is determined based on the draw ratio in draw rolling. A part of the reducing powder charged into the inner surface of the hollow shell adheres to the inner surface of the hollow shell, and a part of the reducing powder is stretched and rolled in a state of floating inside the hollow shell. Thereby, the oxidation of the inner surface of the finish rolling blank subjected to the drawing rolling is suppressed, and the scale formed on the inner surface can be suppressed.
[0030]
If the amount of reducing powder supplied to the inner surface is small, the effect of suppressing the scale becomes insufficient. For example, when rolling is performed with the supply rate kept constant and the draw ratio changed, the scale is not sufficiently suppressed under conditions with a high draw ratio. Therefore, it is important to determine the supply amount based on the draw ratio. For example, when the supply amount per unit area of the inner surface of the hollow shell is Va (g / m 2) and the stretch ratio is EL (−), the supply amount may be determined so as to satisfy the following expression (1).
[0031]
Va ≧ 5 × EL + 10 (1)
Normally, as shown in FIG. 4, the powder is supplied by a method in which the powder is supplied from one end of the hollow shell to the other end in a state where both ends of the hollow shell are released. Part of the powder charged on the inner surface is scattered from the other end to the outside of the hollow shell. The supply amount is the amount remaining in the pipe, and can be obtained as a value obtained by subtracting the amount scattered from the input amount.
[0032]
The upper limit of the supply amount is not particularly limited, but if the supply amount exceeds 200 g /
[0033]
As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described by taking the stretching rolling by the mandrel mill as an example, but it can be similarly applied to the stretching rolling by the plug mill.
[0034]
In stretch rolling by a mandrel mill according to another method of the present invention, a mandrel bar with reducing powder adhered to the surface is inserted into the inner surface of a hollow shell pierced and rolled by a piercer, and the mandrel bar is still inserted. Then, the hollow shell is rolled with a perforated roll to obtain a finish rolling blank.
[0035]
At that time, the amount of reducing powder to be adhered to the surface of the mandrel bar is determined based on the stretch ratio. The reducing powder adhering to the surface of the mandrel bar adheres to the inner surface of the hollow shell during stretching and rolling. Thereby, the oxidation of the inner surface of the finish rolling blank subjected to the drawing rolling is suppressed, and the scale formed on the inner surface can be suppressed.
[0036]
If the amount of reducing powder attached to the mandrel bar is small, the effect of suppressing the scale becomes insufficient. For example, if rolling is performed with the amount of adhesion being constant and the stretch ratio is changed, the scale is not sufficiently suppressed under conditions with a high stretch ratio. Therefore, it is important to determine the adhesion amount based on the stretch ratio. For example, if the adhesion amount of the powder per unit area on the mandrel bar surface is Vb (g / m 2) and the stretch ratio is EL (−), the adhesion amount may be determined so as to satisfy the following expression (2).
[0037]
Vb ≧ 5 × EL + 20 (2)
The upper limit of the adhesion amount is not particularly limited, but if the adhesion amount exceeds 300 g /
[0038]
The reducing powder can be attached to the mandrel bar by applying an aqueous solution containing the reducing powder to the surface of the mandrel bar and then drying the mandrel bar. Note that the aqueous solution may contain an organic binder.
[0039]
In the case where the reducing powder is supplied to the inner surface of the hollow shell and subjected to stretching and rolling, or in the case where the reducing powder is attached to the surface of the mandrel bar and subjected to stretching and rolling, the stretching ratio is 1.3. If the condition is less than 1, the effect of suppressing the scale may be insufficient. Accordingly, the draw ratio is desirably 1.3 or more. More preferably, the draw ratio is 2.5 or more.
[0040]
In the present embodiment, as the reducing powder, Li, Si, Ti, V, Mn, Na, Zn, K, P, C, NaCl, CaCO3, LiCl, MnSO4, K2CO3, or one or two of mica. The powder which mixed the above was used. Preferably, it is C or NaCl.
